Free templates for counsellors

The documents every practice needs, written properly, free to take. No email address required, no watermark, no locked pro version.

Download as Word or copy the text, adapt it to your practice, and use it. Each template comes with short guidance on adapting it well, and links to the fuller guide article where one exists. They pair with our free generators: where a document needs your details woven through it, use a generator; where you just need solid wording to start from, take a template.

Client intake form The details you need to begin safely, and nothing you don't.
Session notes A brief, defensible structure, with what to leave out.
Enquiry reply emails Four replies: first response, the fee question, a full practice, a kind decline.
GP and referrer letters Introduce your practice, and confirm attendance with consent.
Fee increase letter Clear, kind, and consistent with your agreement.

More on the way

Missed session follow-up, Ending letter, Supervision and CPD logs, Complaints procedure, Risk assessment, Social media policy, Clinical will pack, and a clinical will pack.

Every template is a starting point to adapt, not legal advice. Have anything important reviewed by a suitably qualified person, and let your professional body's guidance take precedence.
